Definitions

  • the invention relates to a storage for rod-shaped objects, in particular cigarettes, consisting of horizontal, parallel superimposed conveying channels, each of which is connected in pairs at its ends by a deflecting section with a deflecting plate which is circular in section and forms a zigzag-shaped receiving area, conveyor belts in each case at the The top and bottom of each conveyor channel are arranged to extend over its length and in particular one conveyor belt is assigned to two adjacent conveyor channels, and the storage is provided with an upper inlet and a lower outlet for the rod-shaped objects.
  • Such memories are usually used in connection with cigarette manufacturing and packaging systems, such a memory being used in the event of malfunctions in the area of the cigarette packer to record and temporarily store the cigarettes delivered by cigarette manufacturing units until the malfunction on the cigarette packer is eliminated.
  • the cigarettes are conveyed into the store via conveyor belts for their discharge at the lower end of the store via a zigzag-shaped receiving area of the store.
  • the cigarettes move downward by the action of gravity into the conveyor channel below, in which they are moved further by the conveyor belts.
  • a storage supply device for rod-shaped objects which has an inlet area with a storage area underneath it, with a baffle between the two areas being provided which is circular in section in the storage area.
  • a back and forth swiveling retaining element which pivots away in the storage area when a certain filling level is reached and swivels back into its starting position when the storage area is empty.
  • the retaining element works in conjunction with two leaf spring-like retaining elements in order to first stow the rod-shaped objects and then to continuously increase the storage space in accordance with the supply. If, however, the feed in the inlet area is insufficient or fails, objects can be taken away when the retaining element is swiveled back and can be subjected to impermissible loads.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a memory of the type mentioned, in which it is avoided that the rod-shaped objects in the deflection section can fall down between two superimposed conveying channels of the memory or be impermissibly stressed.
  • transfer elements are provided in the region of the deflecting sections, which are rotatable about the axis of the circular cylinder arc formed by the corresponding deflecting plate, extend essentially over the radius of the circular cylinder arc and are arranged laterally adjacent to the corresponding conveyor belt, the Rotary drive of the respective transfer elements can be actuated by fill level sensors which are arranged in the respective feed channel upstream of the deflection section and in the upstream direction at a distance from one another.
  • the transfer elements are expediently rotatable coaxially with deflection rollers of the conveyor belts.
  • a gear wheel On the shaft of the deflecting roller on each side of the conveyor belt, a gear wheel can be arranged rotatably with respect to the shaft, the gear wheels being connected to the transfer elements and being drivable synchronously.
  • the transfer elements of a deflection section can be rotated and can be held in a position, which is approximately vertically upwards to horizontally, in the case of missing objects detected by the level sensors, until the conveying channel is filled, as a result of which the transfer elements via the level sensors can be rotated in their downward direction into their starting position are feasible.
  • the level sensors are expediently light barriers.
  • the rotary drive of transfer elements of a deflection section can be actuated or switched off by the presence of the same output signals of the associated level sensors.
  • the zigzag-shaped receiving area consists of conveying channels 5 arranged one above the other, which are connected to one another in pairs by deflection sections 6.
  • the uppermost conveying path can be open at the top, as shown in the exemplary embodiment shown.
  • Conveyor belts 7 are arranged between the conveyor channels 5 and are guided around deflection rollers 8, 9.
  • the deflection rollers 9 are arranged on a shaft 11 which is driven approximately by a gearwheel 10.
  • All rollers 9 are driven by a common drive, not shown.
  • the conveyor belts 7 extend over the length of the respective conveyor channel 5 to the deflecting sections 6, one conveyor belt delimiting a conveyor channel 5 on the underside and the conveyor channel 5 located underneath on the top side, so that the ones located in a conveyor channel 5 are arranged one above the other in several layers.
  • two rod-shaped transfer elements 16 are provided, which are arranged on both sides of the corresponding conveyor belt 7.
  • the sleeve 17 carries a pinion 18 which is in engagement with a further gear wheel 20 via a gear wheel 19, the two gear wheels 20 being connected via a common shaft 21 to a rotary drive (not shown).
  • Upstream of each deflection section 6, two fill level sensors 22 are arranged at a distance from one another in the area below the respective lower run of the conveyor belt 7 located above them. Light barriers are preferably used as level sensors.
  • the light barriers 22 are arranged at a distance from one another that larger gaps between the cigarettes 12 can be discovered.
  • the rotary drive for the transmission elements 16 is hereby actuated so that they move out of their starting position, in which they are parallel to the conveyor belt 7 are arranged outside the deflection section 6; be turned into a blocking position by an angle of 90 to 180 °, so that the upper conveyor channel 5 of the conveyor channel pair connected by the deflecting section 6 is blocked off, so that the cigarettes 12 can collect in front of the transfer elements 16.
  • the rotary drive for the transmission elements 16 is actuated again, whereby these are rotated further into their starting position, whereby the cigarettes 12, which are supported against them, into the conveying channel 5 below carry it down so that the cigarettes 12 cannot fall from one conveying channel 5 into the other in the deflection section 6.
  • the transmission elements 16 are shown in different positions in FIG. 1.
  • two inlets 23, 23a are provided for the reservoir 1, the inlet 23 conveying vertically upwards and the inlet 23a horizontally to the inlet 2 of the reservoir 1.
  • a pair of locking elements 26 is arranged, which is approximately like this. can be designed like the transmission elements 16. They serve to close the inlet 23 when it contains no cigarettes so that the machine feeding the inlet 23a can continue to work.
  • the outlet 3 of the store 1 leads, for example, via a branch 24 to the inlet of a cigarette funnel 25 of a cigarette packer.
